Dobrý den, trochu, resp. spíš hodně plavu ve formální angličtině. Do příštího týdne, musím odevzdat formální žádost a potřeboval bych jen tak zběžně zkontrolovat její správnost.
Zde je zadání: Written Examination (Letter)
All of you must write a “formal” letter (100–150 words) on the basis of the following points:
- subject: you cannot come and take your exam on a given weekday (Monday
to Friday) in May 2017
- reasons (choose one only): 1) work meetings or 2) travel abroad or 3) family
- action from recipient: you want your examiner to cancel your May 9th exam
date for either a Saturday or Sunday in May—even though your examiner is not obligated to work or give examinations on the weekend
- other: you apologize for this
A zde je můj výtvor:
Dear Mr XY
I am writing to apologize from the English for Life exam, which will take place
on Tuesday, May 9th. Unfortunately, I cannot participate the exam.
At that time I am leaving for a several day business trip to Hamburg and
I will not be able to attend the exam.
So I would like to request you whether you could cancel my deadline on May 9th
and on that occasion I would like to request you whether it would be possible
I will pass the exam on the weekend. I know it is not a standard procedure,
but I will come back from a business trip on Friday night, and according to
Study Code I will have to finish all the examinations next week to be admitted
to the state final examination.
I very much hope You will suit my request and we will agree together on a
achievable solution to the issue.
Sincerely and apologize for any inconvenience
XY osoba
Mockrát všem děkuji za pomoc
